Review on 5pcs Precision MacBook Repair Tool Kit: P5 Pentalobe Screwdriver, T5 Torx, PH000 Phillips Screwdriver, Ultra-Thin Steel and Nylon Spudgers - for MacBook Pro & MacBook Air with Retina Display by Adam Tidd

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good set of screwdrivers. Maybe too much?

Pentalobe opened my MacBook Pro (Late 2013 15-inch Retina) perfectly. I really liked the magnetized tips so I didn't lose any screws. However, the T5 screwdriver snapped my torx screw (this could indicate either the strength of the screwdriver, a weak screw head, or my skill. The choice is yours). I'm also glad to have a nylon spatula - it's great for working around the edge of the bottom bezel to remove the back bezel. Also great for removing old thermal paste from the CPU. Overall I am satisfied with this purchase. --EDIT -- I do NOT recommend the T5 screwdriver that comes with this set. It seems he keeps stripping all the T5 screws in my Macbook (especially when they are very tight). The P5 and Phillips screwdrivers are great, but not the T5. Downgraded by 3 stars.

Pros
  • High test scores for grip and durability
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
